Car shopping with a kid in mind

Welcome to motherhood

My husband and I are about to make our first big purchase since Reese joined our family. Don’t get me wrong — with the amount of clothes, food and miscellaneous supplies a baby needs, a trip to the local big-box discount store does, on occasion, makes me feel like I’ve been taken to the cleaners. Technically, though, I think our seemingly imminent acquisition of a new vehicle would count as our family’s first major expenditure, post-child.
